My 1995 Small Farm - Vol 2 Chapter 390

Chapter 390 What happened in the Evil Gate Mountain

Speaking of looking for wild duck eggs, even though there are many waterfowls on the farm, there are really no wild ducks nesting here.

This thing also likes places with wide water surfaces, such as old river bends and reservoirs, which are the first choice for them to nest and gather.

Although the water quality and environment of the farm is good, they often come here, but only for play and rest.

It may still be too close to where people live, and they have never thought of making a home here.

But those pheasants have been staying longer and longer among their chickens recently.

Chen Ling was worried that he would startle them away, so he kept watching from a distance, and never got too close.

So until now, I don’t know if they lay eggs nearby.

But seeing the chickens, ducklings, and geese of my family hatching out of their shells one after another, they have been running around for a long time, and there is still no movement behind those pheasants, and they don’t follow the little one, which shows that most of my expectations have come to nothing.

But this afternoon, when he had just finished teasing his son and was about to go to Laohewan to look for wild duck eggs, he was walking on the bluestone path in the orchard when he suddenly heard a long-toned pheasant crowing “clack, cluck” from the Came from the direction of the hillside.

He immediately stopped and followed the prestige.

This is incredible.

There was a strange and beautiful pheasant among the pheasants, circling back and forth around a big yellow hen, shaking its comb and tail, and clucking for courtship.

The reason why this pheasant looks strange is because its tail feathers are extremely long, even about one meter long, and the feathers around its body are also brighter than that of a pheasant.

“Good guy, the long-tailed pheasant has also been attracted. Is my chicken lure so attractive?”

Chen Ling opened his mouth slightly, but he didn’t expect this scene to happen.

But then I thought about it, I’m afraid it wasn’t caused by chicken lures.

This long-tailed pheasant obviously came for his own hen.

Qinling pheasant.

There are many kinds of pheasants and pheasants here, and they often run down the mountain.

So people are not surprised.

It’s just that the long-tailed pheasant went to its own flock to court the old hen, which is somewhat shocking.

“His grandma, is it possible that this pheasant still wants to be paired with my hen? It can’t lay eggs, it’s a waste of effort.”

Chen Ling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and then thought: “It doesn’t matter whether it can lay eggs, or whether this long-tailed pheasant is attracted by chicken decoys, it’s better to find some wild duck eggs earlier, and the hatchlings will be used as duck decoys for me. Surely there will be no harm in the future.”

Thinking about this, Chen Ling got on the horse, called Xiao Jin, and went to Laohewan together.

Xiaojin had to rely on Xiaojin to find prey, and Heiwa was not bad at all, but it liked to be Ruirui’s dog’s leg all day long, and Chen Ling was too lazy to call it out.

Xiao Jin will naturally not return empty-handed.

Chen Ling found seven or eight wild duck eggs on the river beach this afternoon, and took three or four from each nest, which is not a lot.

After taking them back, as usual, find a brooding hen to incubate the eggs.

There is no need to worry about this.

Simply, he took the dog to the mountain again, went to the lake in the mountain to see the situation of the two earth dragons, but unfortunately, after searching for a long time, he didn’t know where they went.

No sign of them digging holes and nesting on the shore was found.

Take Xiaojin on the boat again and search for it, but they still can’t find any traces, so they have to give up in the end.

He originally intended to throw it into the cave while no one was there, but he didn’t know that the rain failed to come through yesterday, so he couldn’t find it today.

I can only look at the situation in the future. With the environment here, there should be no problems.

…

Two days passed quietly, and the heat here in Chenwangzhuang really subsided a lot.

In addition to gradually entering the busy farming period, no one came to the reservoir.

Business can’t be done, and the villagers don’t care about getting lost.

Just because besides their busy farming season, they should also sell their ornamental fish. After collecting the deposit in advance, they are more confident and motivated than anyone else.

Little Sheep This is already the second trip.

Because the fish in the farmer’s family is more or less, it is usually a piece of fish, but it is still in full swing.

Chen Ling, he didn’t have time to get involved in this matter these two days, and he was helping Zhao Dahai carry the electric pole up the mountain.

With his help, the result will be twice the result with half the effort, and the originally difficult things will become easier.

Worked for two days in a row, carrying electric poles to the surrounding hills. Although Chen Ling didn’t feel tired with his physique, it was a real effort after all.

When I came back this evening, I was thinking about making some hard dishes to reward myself.

Zhao Dahai didn’t say a word, he drove to the county town to buy a package, and let him do it freely.

Chen Ling looked at the ingredients, and there were all kinds of meat, eggs, and other dishes in a mess, so why not just have a barbecue and eat it, and then pair it with some fruit wine later, and eat the barbecue, it’s very beautiful.

“Good guy, I’m drooling when I tell you that. I’ll cut some bamboo sticks for you.”

Zhao Dahai put an iron grate on the fire pit near the kitchen. At this moment, he exaggeratedly wiped the corners of his mouth, sucked twice, and couldn’t wait to cut bamboo sticks for Chen Ling.

Chen Ling raised his head and smiled, continuing to cut meat and peel fish.

In this season, there are not many vegetables here, only a few kinds, and there is no shortage of meat and eggs.

Fortunately, people at this time didn’t pay too much attention to vegetables, and if they had enough meat to eat, they would be very happy and enjoyable.

Zhao Dahai is a meat lover, and he also knows that Chen Ling made this barbecue. It tastes good, but it’s not very filling, and there are too many people eating it.

So I bought a lot of pork and mutton.

Follow Chen Ling’s orders for the rest, using chicken legs, chicken wings, and freshly caught live fish.

At night, it was a feast for everyone. Many people have only eaten mutton skewers before, and they have never eaten such a rich barbecue. They all think that this meal is a real feast.

After eating and drinking happily, Zhao Dahai consulted with Chen Ling at the end of the show, saying that they moved almost all the electric poles up the mountain, and the rest of the work was wiring and the like, which needed to be done slowly , not in a hurry.

So it’s time for them to prepare to go to the city to attend the bobcat wedding.

Given the relationship between him and Chen Ling and Bobcats, it was necessary to arrive two or three days in advance.

Going ahead of time can help and deal with chores.

On this point, whether in the city or in the countryside, Chen Ling also calculated the time early, otherwise he would not have asked the little sheep about the road conditions.

That night, the two agreed to leave the day after tomorrow.

Lynx was married seven days later.

If they go there earlier, Chen Ling can take his wife and children to see the new home in the city and play around, and Zhao Dahai himself can go home in advance and rest for two days.

Then go to help Bobcats, so there is plenty of time.

But unexpectedly, before Chen Ling could pack up his things the next day, Chen Baoshuan ran over to report the news.

It is said that something terrible happened in the mountains. The young boys who went to the mountain as guides in the village encountered troubles. I don’t know if they offended the land grandfather or recruited the old monsters in the mountains.

Bad luck for them.

Er Mao Donkey’s youngest son broke his leg.

The group of outsiders who entered the mountain were all injured. Early this morning, at dawn, they were carried down from the west mountain.

“Old monster? What kind of old monster can there be? This is running around in the mountains and getting hurt by wild things, right?”

Chen Ling glanced at him and sneered.

He remembered the howling of wolves a few days ago, the movement was not small.

“Hey, it wasn’t hurt by wild things. Liu Guangli from Jinmen Village didn’t say a word, and he didn’t want to say more.

I don’t respond to anyone who asks, this must be something wrong. ”

Chen Baoshuan waved his hands again and again with a serious face.
